  • How to change Essential Graphics Source Text Properties with Extendscript?

    Posted by Muhammed Şamil tekin on June 29, 2022 at 12:42 pm

    Hello. I’ve been trying to do this for a long time and I can say that there is no source I haven’t been looking for. I couldn’t do it, help me please?

    I want to change Source Text Properties in Essential Graphics panel with Extendscript.

    I think this is possible because this feature is used in another Script. Here is the link https://youtu.be/tVDx-TvaPRc?t=10

    I might be wrong, but I don’t think ExtendScript can format text. Another option as you’re using this in essential graphics might be to adjust the scale of the text or having multiple text layers at different scales whose opacity is controlled by the essential graphics properties.

    Thank you for your answer. Actually what I want to do is just enable these settings. I think it’s possible, but how? Do you think there is a simple way? Because in the video he seems to have solved it very simply.

    Based on the fact you are trying to change the text source, let me suggest a completely different alternative to using a MOGRT. Have you ever used Dataclay’s Templater plugin? If you are looking to automate dynamic text sources, that is the ideal tool.
